So I know this was a while ago. But your #1 Quant answer is incorrect:

10^n = 0.0004, find n.
You said it could not be determined.

The Answer is n = -3.39794

How to solve it:
10^n = 0.0004
(take the log base 10 of both sides)
log (10^n) = log(0.0004)
n = -3.39794 (log of 10^n is simply n)

Check: 10^-3.39794 = 0.0004

How exactly are you going to find log(0.0004) without a calculator??
